Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Fragoso is a Principal Scientist at Microsoft with a decade of experience bridging academic research and industry productization in computer vision, machine learning, and 3D perception. He holds a PhD from UC Santa Barbara and progressed from research roles and faculty appointments to leading applied research since joining Microsoft in 2018. His work spans deep learning, SLAM, optimization, and emerging large-model modalities (LLM/LMM), with a track record of developing novelty detection and advanced vision systems. Victor combines rigorous academic training—years as a lecturer, postdoc, and assistant professor—with practical engineering internships at Google, Qualcomm, and Samsung, giving him a rare fluency in both theory and production engineering. Based in Boston, he is known for translating complex research into deployable algorithms for perception and autonomy. An underappreciated strength is his repeated experience teaching and mentoring across universities, which sharpens his ability to communicate technical ideas to diverse teams.
